I’m Really Playing Basketball

Las Vegas, Thomas \u0026 Mack Center.

The people of the casino gave Chen Xiao the biggest applause and cheers when he appeared on the stage.

This made Chen Xiao the most dazzling star throughout the All-Star Weekend.

And after the All-Star appearance ceremony is completed, before the start of the All-Star game, there will be a special awards ceremony. The item we are looking forward to is the 60th anniversary of the NBA, the newly added awards ceremony for the top 60 stars.

Before the start of today's All-Star Game, the league announced the top 10 new superstars for the NBA's 60th anniversary.

Duncan, Chen Xiao, Iverson, Kobe, Garnett, Ray Allen, Kidd, Bob McAdoo, Reggie Miller, and Payton.

There are no too exciting surprises in the list of the top 10 new superstars in the top 50.

Wade, Yao Ming and James were not ultimately selected.

Without Jerry West standing up to all odds, it would have been difficult for O'Neal to be selected with that honor as a fourth grader.

At the same time, Wilkins, the legacy of the last selection, failed again this time.

It's not like Wilkins lost to MVPs like Chen Xiao.

Of the 10 superstars added this time, seven are regular season MVPs. Kobe, Reggie Miller and Gary Payton are not regular season MVPs. Therefore, Wilkins' real opponents are these three.

For the roster selected by professionals from the entire league this time, when considering the roster, not only the data must be considered, but also the results of the playoffs.

Of course there is no problem with Wilkins' data, averaging 24.8 points per game in the regular season and 25.4 points per game in the playoffs, but Wilkins' playoff results are really shabby.

The best result is not even the conference finals, and has never touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is also the most criticized aspect of Wilkins' career, and it was also because of this that he lost the last time.

His strength has never been doubted by anyone. The NBA's scoring champion has never been weak. In the 1988 Eastern Conference semifinals, he fought against Larry Bird in seven games. After falling behind 0 to 2 at the beginning, he pulled three games in a row. Both games were lost by two points.

In one of the tiebreakers, Wilkins scored 47 points in a single game, which is still the highest score in an NBA tiebreaker.

Historically, it was not broken until Durant scored 48 points in the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2021.

If the 1988 Hawks could go all the way to the Finals and win the championship, Wilkins and his second-in-command Doc Rivers would be the gods.

However, luck is like this, the sky does not follow people's wishes, 0 to 2 behind, 3 to 2 overtake, but the last victory, no matter what, it is impossible to win, and if you lose by two points, it is also a loss.

As a loser, no matter how strong you are, you still have to be pointed out by others, and your destiny is in the mouths of others.

If others say you are a loser, you are a loser; if others say you are a loser, you are a loser.

With the absence of the 60th, it can be predicted that Wilkins's hope of selecting an N superstar in the future is basically slim.

With the development of the times, more and more future stars will accumulate.

There's only one a year, and it's the best of the best.

Among the top ten newly selected this time, the bottom ones are players of the level of Payton and Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller and Payton are truly superstars!

Look at the last top 50, what level was at the bottom? It can be said that in future selections, the lower limit will become very, very high.

Seriously, both Wilkins and Bob McAdoo should have been drafted in the 50s.

It can only be said that Jerry West is indeed too "beaten" in this matter. In order to exchange and favor, too many so-called "superstars" who are not worthy of the name are stuffed in.

Fortunately, Bob McAdoo's statistics and honors are strong enough. Although he won the two championships by relying on his own efforts, he did not lead the team by himself.

But an MVP and the hard honor of three scoring champions are there. If his former home team, the Buffalo Braves, hadn't disappeared long ago, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so unknown in the NBA.

In order to add 10 new superstars this time and make up the quota of 60 superstars in the past 60 years, David Stern and the NBA can be said to have worked very hard.

Therefore, the NBA also made this awards ceremony very grand.

In addition to inviting most of the top 50 players in the past, they also issued a statuette to the top 60 players as a souvenir trophy.

The NBA's 60 superstars gathered together, which was indeed quite lively.

As the youngest among these dozens of NBA superstars, Chen Xiao is undoubtedly still the biggest focus on the court.

Because whether it is TNT's commentators, Chinese commentators, or commentators from other countries, they all focus on introducing Chen Xiao's honor.

As a 24-year-old player, if he is selected into such a historical hall-level list, if he does not have extraordinary honors, he will be pointed at the spine.

At the very least, when Ao Pang was selected into the top 50, he was criticized a lot.

And Chen Ling, of course, didn't need to be sprayed.

As the host of this awards ceremony and a member of the Big 60, Barkley is now standing next to Chen Xiao, introducing Chen Xiao to audiences across the United States and the world.

"The big boy standing next to me is the best player in the NBA now, the youngest player to be selected into the NBA's highest hall, one NBA regular season MVP, two NBA regular season finals MVPs, four best teams, two 2019 championship, scoring champion, wonder boy, Chen Xiao!”

"Chen, do you feel a little uncomfortable entering the stage of old men like us at such a young age?"

"No, there is no discomfort. It should be said that it will be very interesting. As a fan, I saw almost all the superstars in the NBA tonight. This is the most wonderful occasion."

Didn't Chen Xiao criticize Barkley?

After all, this fat man also holds a statuette in his hand.

Regardless of whether this fat man's mouth is mean and bad, on this occasion, as a player, he still deserves Chen Xiao's respect.

Therefore, the exchange between Chen Xiao and Barkley was unexpectedly friendly this time, so friendly that even the American viewers in front of the TV were a little surprised.

"This time the Wonder Boy didn't confront Charles!"

That being said, Chen Xiao seems to love to quarrel with others.

Is Chen Xiao such a bad-mouthed person?

He is actually a person with a very sweet mouth, okay!

Chen Xiao said that he did not feel any discomfort on such an occasion. This was not a polite comment on his part, but he meant it seriously.

As he said himself, he is a fan, and he is a well-known fan player in the NBA.

Just like Xiao Zhan likes to collect "The Future Is Yours", Chen Xiao likes to collect his idol's jerseys and photos.

On this occasion, it can be said that Chen Xiao had a great time taking photos.

Xiao Su, who took pictures of Chen Xiao, was also very excited this time.

Chen Xiao can be selected into the NBA's top 60 stars. This is definitely no less important than Chen Xiao or Yao Ming leading the team to win the FMVP.

Let's put it this way, starting from today, Chen Xiao has officially become one of the greatest players in NBA history.

Therefore, he was really happy to run errands for Chen Xiao like this!

Seeing the scene where Chen Xiao led Xiao Su through the field, Teacher Zhang on the sidelines and Dayao who was a guest commentator also had quite excited faces at this moment.

Yu Yourongyan, that's what he meant.

"Dayao, is it a pity that you were not selected for this list this year? Many people say that you and Wade should replace Reggie Miller and Gary Payton."

"There must be some regrets, but Payton and Miller are both very good NBA superstars. Although Dwyane and I have achieved some achievements in the NBA, these achievements are really not enough to offset their 20 years in the NBA. For their hard work, they deserve this honor.

Of course, for me, I think not being selected this time is also an inspiration to me. I will definitely enter this hall in the next ten years! "

Dayao's words were quite eloquent.

But at this time, it wasn't just Dayao. Looking at Chen Xiao and those glorious NBA historical superstars on the court, many All-Stars next to him were secretly swearing in their hearts.

In history, the NBA has never made such a big move when adding the top 60 players.

Therefore, at that time in history, it really would not have any big psychological shock to the current players, but this time, it is really different.

At the very least, young people like James, Wade, and Howard next to him, and even adult superstars like Carter and McGrady, are quite envious and stimulated.

Especially McGrady and Carter, as two of the top five guards.

The other three were all included in this list, and even Ray Allen, the sixth guard, came from behind, but the two brothers can't appear on the court now, they can only watch off the court, which is somewhat embarrassing.

I have to say that David Stern and the NBA did a really good job in this 60th awards ceremony. In addition to giving glory to the heroes of the NBA, it can also stimulate the competition of others.

Even Britney Anthony is feeling aroused right now, so you can imagine.

Xiao Tiantian is a person who cares about face. If ten years later, Chen Xiao, James, and Paul are all on this list, and he is the only one left behind, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

Therefore, Xiao Tiantian feels that he should not just rest on the laurels of a superstar.

The top ten co-options this time are all superstars at the level of Reggie Miller and Payton. To be honest, his current height in the NBA has not reached the height of these two.

If you don’t work hard now, you will definitely be GG ten years from now.

In short, under the vigorous promotion of the NBA, in the first half hour of the All-Star Game, the whole world was watching Chen Xiao and the other 50 superstars enjoying the glory.

And after the glory, the most exciting and disturbing thing will happen, that is, immediately, a ranking of the top 60 stars will appear on the big screen.

This can be said to be an official ranking list of historical status. This ranking list has made many people angry recently.

For example, because of this ranking, many people have recently stood up to build momentum for themselves, such as Mr. Pi Erye.

As a result, Mr. Pi's campaign went too far and aroused public outrage.

How did Erye Pi build momentum?

Pi Erye asked the Bulls to build a statue of him in the United Center, and he did so in a threatening way.

In the end, the Bulls had no choice but to agree. After all, Mr. Pi had already said so. It was just a statue. Mr. Pi’s contribution to the Bulls was worth it.

However, this matter is somewhat unbearable to others.

Which of our top 60 superstars can let the team erect statues for themselves? It is the team's business to erect statues. If you give it to you, you will give it to you.

Isn’t it a shame?

So much so that John McMullen of the "Toronto Star" wrote an article, bluntly saying that Pippen did not deserve to be selected for the top 50.

And what Mr. John said seemed quite reasonable.

"Like most observers, I love Pippen's game. But, let's be honest, even when the universe explodes, he's just a good partner, a role player."

"Pippen was an all-around fighter who could play all four positions, and he was the best perimeter defender of his era, but it was always Jordan who won six Finals MVPs.

But please don't get me wrong, I'm not disparaging Pippen. 7 All-Star appearances and 8 All-Defensive team selections are the honors Pippen deserves. He also won six NBA championships and won the Barcelona Olympics championship with the U.S. team in 1992.

I'd even admit that he's a definite Hall of Famer, in fact he's about to be inducted.

However, things should stop here. Pippen can become an NBA legend, but he should not become the face of the NBA!

Pippen shouldn't even have been on the 1996 Top 50 list!

In fact, if you like to play the "which one doesn't belong here" game, Pippen's name will stand out on this list. Most of the others have been the top of the team, but Pippen has not, never has No!

Some people criticize him more seriously than mine, and many of them are unfair, but Pippen really does not deserve to be the one who stands with Jordan, Chen Xiao, Magician, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Russell. Players together!

Pippen is not on the same level as them!

All of this is not to say that Pippen doesn't have his own legend.

Pippen is an important part of NBA history, but let's not mess with his historical status.

Because, as a role player, he is not qualified and does not need to be ranked in history. "

What he said was quite vicious.

The whole thing is that Mr. Pi has not been able to eat well or sleep well these days, and he doesn't feel good anymore.

Don’t you just want to move up a few places in the historical status ranking? Why did it cause public outrage?

Pi Erye didn't even think about it, how many active superstars are staring at this list, if you are selected, you should keep a low profile, when you come out to show like that, have you ever thought about the feelings of active superstars like Nash?

The media that supports these current superstars look at you in a dazzling way, but why do you think you are really a second-in-command who has never been the boss?

However, this cannot be blamed on Mr. Pi, because this ranking is not ranked by the media, but by NBA practitioners.

Therefore, he is worried that his ranking may be in the sewer!

Let's put it this way, NBA practitioners really don't look down on a team's second best.

When he was on the Dream Team, Pi Er Ye felt that he was in a sewer position compared to other superstars.

However, when the 60-man roster on the big screen came out, and when Pippen saw his hit at the 30th position, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is not very high, there is no sewer!

Therefore, the moment the rankings came out, all the attacks and grievances I had received recently felt as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Even Mr. Pi had a satisfied smile on his face.

However, at this time, no one except Mr. Pi himself paid attention to his ranking.

At this time, most of the media around the world have announced that they are chasing hot superstars, or the ranking of current hot superstars!

Especially Chen Xiao.

Jordan, Russell, Magic, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, O'Neal, Olajuwon, Duncan...

Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao's name appeared on the tenth spot!

Seeing the familiar name and the familiar photo on the big screen, Teacher Zhang jumped up excitedly on the sidelines!

"Top ten, Chen Xiao has become one of the top ten superstars in NBA history!

Reasonable, so reasonable! "

Third in active service and tenth in history!

Dayao's excited hands were clenched into fists.

So awesome, Xiao Chen, so awesome!
